Watch Trailer
1909 · 2 min Documentary

Houdini and his wife Bess are walking along the Seine in Paris, when he encounters a melee between a drunkard and the police. In the ensuing confusion, Houdini is arrested and taken to the police station where he is handcuffed, manacles, shackled, straitjacketed and otherwise tied up to a chair. He escapes from all these restraints. The film, originally shot in 1901, and re-shot in 1909, is intended as a way of recording the amazing escapes of Houdini the illusionist.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Les exploits d'Houdini à Paris; ou, Les merveilleux expoits d'Houdini is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1909. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
